Indigenous Language Revitalization

Indigenous Language Revitalization refers to efforts aimed at restoring and promoting Native languages that have been diminished or threatened by colonization and modernization. This process involves teaching these languages in schools, offering community classes, creating educational resources, and encouraging their use in daily life. The goal is to not only preserve the language but also to strengthen cultural identity and heritage among Indigenous communities. Revitalization recognizes the critical role language plays in shaping worldview and community, contributing to a broader understanding of human diversity and cultural richness.
